The bbc, again.

[Teddy Eagle]

It has entertainment as part of its remit but your opinion of it has no connection to the actual subject we were discussing.

What's the thread title?

So no one with a computer could have logged onto BBC IPlayer, whether live or after the event? This is of course possible with a VPN, even if not “legal” ( debatable) it cannot be said no one in the US viewed it, as has been said on here, can it? So are they saying as no one viewed it legally that’s ok then?

I cannot see a claim that someone watched something illegally being accepted as a basis for legal action in any Court. Add to that that the numbers, if any, would be minuscule. Add to them that he won the election and the whole enterprise falls apart. It looks what it is. An opportunity to try to play the victim, again, extract some money, divert attention away from the stupidity being done every day and embarrass the BBC.

We were discussing BBC news. Not BBC entertainment. Start with a new comment if you want to address that, rather than respond to one of mine!

One of the many complaints about the BBC is the lack of funding for new programming.

What's the difference? If you haven't got an answer or are a fan of fifty year old repeats then leave it.

They have to keep money back to pay off all of their staff that are forced to resign and to pay future legal costs.
I wonder will my job pay me off when I f*** up and have to resign? Will anyone else's? No, only the BBC pays off its paedos, weirdos and incompetents. Anyone paying the licence is literally a fool.

Do you seriously think those payments, even when lumped together, make any kind of significant difference?

People get separation payments in many organisations in return for signing a NDA. It’s what the lawyers demand. I have personal experience of negotiating these. They are budgeted.

With the attitude on display here about the licence seemingly becoming more prevalent it must be the case that it will be replaced with something else, that both cannot be avoided and hopefully is less directly attributable to the BBC, thus avoiding this nonsense.

The difference is obvious. It has no connection to the points being made and is therefore just a diversionary distraction. If you have no more to say about news coverage then don’t respond to me. Just leave it and make a new comment.

And say the same thing. It was addressed to you as the keenest defender of the BBC on here but you clearly don't have an answer.
